JEE Main Safe Percentile for CSE at DTU

The best way to know about the Safe Percentile for CSE at DTU is to look at the recent JAC Delhi counselling data. The closing rank for CSE under the General category in the 2025 admission cycle was around 6,105 for Delhi region students and about 7,159 for outside-Delhi students in early rounds. The CSE score of last year represents high competition for the flagship branch. Students must know that the overall closing rank for CSE towards the final round went up to 11,000, depending on the category and quota.

If ranks are converted to percentile terms, it will come around the 99.2th -99.7th percentile in JEE Main, and anything beyond this percentile can be referred to as the Safe Percentile for CSE at DTU. However, the safe percentile will also depend on the difficulty level of the exam and the total number of students appearing for JEE Main 2026. As per the previous year trends, CSE at DTU show moderate fluctuations, and there are slight shifts in ranks and percentiles depending on seat additions, exam difficulty, and the number of high-scoring students.

Experts suggest the following safe percentile targets with reference to trends of previous years for JEE Main 2026 aspirants aiming for CSE at DTU:

• General Category (Delhi quota): 99.2-99.5 percentile
• General Category (Outside Delhi): 99.5-99.7 percentile
• EWS/OBC candidates: roughly 96-99 percentile depending on quota

The Delhi region quota reserves a large portion of seats for local students, which plays a crucial role in determining the final cutoff ranks. As a result, students from Delhi often secure admission at slightly lower ranks compared with outside-state applicants.
